A wonderful read."-Douglas Brinkley is Professor of History at Rice University "Mark Updegrove's Baptism by Fire is a splendid companion to John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage ." -Patricia O'Toole, author of When Trumpets Call: Theodore Roosevelt after the White House and The Five of Hearts: An Intimate Portrait of Henry Adams and His Friends.

- e***r (80)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe shipping cost was reasonable. The train was well packaged. The train set was as described (new). The train ran well, but I believe the coupler was dragging. I need a professional to diagnose the the problem. The train set was a good value. Good job!!!
